The two quickly adjust to their surroundings, using survival techniques they learned from the old man before his death. As time passes, the kids enter puberty and begin to discover their sexuality. Without realizing what's happening to her, Em becomes pregnant and gives birth. With the baby comes responsibility and the wonder of discovery, as the parents, themselves still children, learn what it means to have another human life dependent on them. [More]

Reviews for The Blue Lagoon
At a little over 100 minutes, the film feels as if huge chunks of it were edited out for pace; however, the wrong chunks have been cut.
The only thing blue about the movie is the sea, and the way you'll feel after wasting your time on this dose of 'tasteful', TV commercial-style, nudity.
[It] has a nonsensical glaze that contributes to the inadvertent merriment.
It's pornography for people who like to go to book burnings; a sex fantasy as chaste as your 3rd grade piano teacher.
You can focus on the gorgeous locales or the underage skin. Or you could just watch a much better movie.
